Most people have been bullied at some time in there lives.If you're being bullied it's not your fault-the bully is the one with the problem.However,it's crucial to take a action.Find a teacher'parent or other adult you trust,and tell them exactly whis is happening.They don't necessarily have to get involved or even speak to the bully.Just sharing the problem will make you feel much better,and they can suppert you and,advise you,and help you stand up for yourself.Most schools have strict policies on bullying and your teachers will have lots of experience of dealing with the problem.

Practise looking and sounding confident.Bullies are useally cowards who pick on people that they think are weaker then themselves.Stand up tall and hold your head up high when you walk around the school.Speak in a clear,strong voice and look people straight in the eye.Whenever possible,ignore any behaviour that is intended to make you feel scared or bad about yourself.Convince the bully that you are not botherd by them or hurt by their words-they'll quickly get bored and leave you alone.
Try to think of ways to deal with difficult situations before they occur.Practise things that you could say to someone taunting you.Crying or shouting usually only makes things worse,whereas a cleaver,caasual remark wich is neither rude nor sarcastic,will make you seem confident and in control.Always try to remain calm and be reasonable.

Bullies won't pick on someone who is surrounded by supported friends.Keep an eye out for people who often seem to be left aalone and make an effort to get to know them.This way you'll make lots of new friends and keep the bullies at bay.

No one deserves to be bullied.Don't give in to a bully,don't encourage a bully,and never,ever be a bully yourself.
